Cardura XL (active ingredient: doxazosin) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypertension: Cardura XL is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) to help lower blood pressure.
  2. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): It is indicated for the treatment of symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, such as urinary obstruction and difficulty urinating.

Cardura XL belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha-1 adrenergic blockers, which work by relaxing the muscles in the blood vessels and the prostate, leading to decreased blood pressure and improved urinary flow.

Consult with your doctor for specific dosage instructions based on your individual needs.

To get the most benefit from it, take Cardura XL regularly at the same time each day. If you miss taking the medication for a few days, you may need to restart treatment at a lower dose and gradually increase it again. It is important to consult your doctor for more details.
